A Buffy/Angel/Serenity movie fan trailer.
Ever wondered what the Angel episode 'Damage' would be like reimagined for the silver screen and featuring characters from all three of Joss' shows? Well wonder no more. This fan video features a bloody River caught in a Buffyverse civil war. Perfect way to kick off your weekend.

We don't normally link to fan videos (we'd be scrolling off the front page every 15 minutes for a start) but every so often one comes along which really captures the attention. I adore this, the editing is superb and the music kicks in at all the right places.

If only. It was long for a trailer, but I think it was cut by someone who really wanted to make this movie and just couldn't let go. I thought it was just nifty.

Once again, my dear Pointy, I go to post a line & you've already done so. It's positively uncanny. (BTW, the other night was the first time I've been called "QuoterHussy" -- at least, to my face. I didn't see it 'til it was off the front page.)

That was really, really excellent. When's the film out ? ... Ah, shit.

It did seem pretty seamless, clearly someone who really knows (and loves) the shows. The music was well mixed (OK, you can put Rob Duncan's 'Chosen' theme over a corn-flakes advert and it'd seem dramatic but still very well done), the visuals were pretty seamless and who knew River and Dana could be made to look so similar with a bit of judicious cutting ? V. cool.

(and the bits from 'Sanctuary' and 'Power Play' make me want to watch Angel through again)

This is the movie I've been wanting to see for such a very long time! Thank you to the brilliant folks responsible for creating that video, and thanks to you, Simon, for bringing it here. *Goes back to watch it yet again*

A more than excellent way to start my day - watching this great video! Kudos to Holly Gilmore for creating it and to Simon for pointing the way! Now - when does the full length version hit the big screen? I'll be the first on line!

That was great! It made me want to rewatch episodes, but I've only two more episodes in S7 of Buffy to watch this time through and then I can't decide if I want to watch Angel, Firefly or Serenity ;-).

That so rocked! I don't always like fan videos, because a lot of times they just seem like favorite scenes strung together, which is OK, but it's not a "story," and often the fan videos don't have a powerful rhythm (which I guess also means that the background music may not fit). I could totally see this story, the conflicts, the tension of who would get to the Empowered One first, and so on. The music and the rhythm of the cutting between scenes really gave this momentum, and got me involved in wondering "what happens next?" It so worked to blend River and Dana (and, though more in discussion than images, Faith). Great job, Ms. Gilmore! I will definitely look for more of her work. :-)
